I see zero chance of that happening, to be honest... they have too much invested in Cena as the quintessential good guy, the guy who has granted more wishes to sick children than any other celebrity in the history of the Make A Wish foundation...
Then there's the whole saluting thing, the way he's constantly honoring the military... that stuff wouldn't mean as much if he wasn't the "hero" in the ring, too...
I think they're pretty much stuck with him as a white hat... there's more money in him playing that role...
People once thought that Hogan could never be anything but face as well. Worked out pretty sweet for WCW when they finally turned him heel, which was long over due.
I do believe that at some point they are going to turn Cena heel and draw money off the fact that he's turned his back on the fans that did care. It will be a great move for the WWE and John Cena both when it happens.

Well he can bore but he has meant more to the ratings than The Rock and Wrestlemania did.
3.0 for the leadup to Wrestlemania, Lesnars' opening segment 3.6 rating for the second hour? 3.2. It should be "Monday Night Raw starring Brock Lesnar.". I have found his segments the most interesting week after week, I love the character he is portraying and I love the fact he isn't a ***** heel like every other one WWE has pushed in the past 5 or so years.
***** heel? So you're saying Orton and Punk were ***** heels?
Sorry bro but I'd much rather see anything that Orton or Punk does as a heel then Lesnar.
I like Lesnar, and love the pissed off, cave man, jock that Brock is pushed as. It's great. But he can't hold a candle to Orton or Punk.

Austin would not pop the ratings at all. He means nothing in 2012. Lesnar has moved the ratings about the same percentage over the past two weeks you give The Rock credit for in 2011. Lesnars' segments have been rated the highest on the shows by far. The Rock meant nothing in 2012 to the ratings his segments were rarely the highest on the show, how do you explain that?
Single dumbest thing you've ever said.
If you actually believe that you're more ignorant than I could have ever imagined.
Without a doubt a return of Austin to anything like what the Rock or Brock are doing would pop the ratings in a major way.
Again I like Brock a ton but he couldn't hope to ever hold a candle to Stone Cold. Because you're a kid, and would have been like, what, 7 when Austin was on full time at the height of his popularity I'll give you a pass for simply not having a clue how much the crowds popped for him.
There has only ever been one other person that ever got a pop even close to what Austin got on a weekly basis and his name is The Rock.
Brock, at his height, couldn't pop the crowd the way Austin did and still world. He means nothing? The friggen crowd STILL does his WHAT stuff to every wrestler out there. What phrase does Brock have again that the crowd still does, every week, years later?
Oh, that's right, he doesn't.
Again. You have no clue.
